Fear No More: Safeguard Your Assets from Intruders and Hackers with Safeway Security

Security is a top priority among families, businesses, and organizations. If you own a building without surveillance systems, you are leaving yourself vulnerable to theft, vandalism, and other security breaches. Installing surveillance systems not only acts as a deterrent for potential criminals but also provides valuable evidence in the event of any unfortunate incidents. Additionally, surveillance systems and alarm monitors can be connected to a central monitoring station, ensuring that any suspicious activity is immediately detected and responded to. This level of proactive security measures can give peace of mind to both property owners and occupants, knowing that their safety is being actively monitored and protected.?

Safeway Security is a multi-dimensional firm in Guyana that provides security solutions for individuals and businesses. Started in 2010 by the past President of GMSA, Mr. Clement Sealey, Safeway provides two major services:

1.????? Safeway Security: Provides the installation and sales of alarm products and is the authorized distributor of ZK access control systems and C Co. Alarm.

2.????? Safeway Solutions: Provides alarm monitoring and response services.

Safeway provides a complete security package for its clients. By offering both products and services, the firm ensures that its customers have all their security needs met under one roof.

In December 2016, after the unfortunate death of Mr. Sealey, his wife, Saudia Caesar, took over the business as the Managing Director.

She stated during a recent interview that "business is not what it used to be. Everyone is improving their operations with technology." Caesar acknowledges the changing landscape of the business world and emphasizes the importance of adapting to technological advancements. She recognizes that staying ahead of the curve is crucial to meeting the evolving security needs of their clients.?

For many business professionals, being able to access their workspace remotely is no longer a luxury but a necessity. Some of the services Safeway provides and sees as vital security technology businesses need to utilize:

The use of closed-circuit television (CCTV) to gain full access to live video feeds from anywhere in the world has become a standard practice. This allows businesses to monitor their premises and ensure the safety of their assets even when they are not physically present. Additionally, integrating advanced analytics into CCTV systems enables businesses to detect and respond to potential security threats in real time, further enhancing their operational efficiency and effectiveness.?

Access control to the office is another important aspect of ensuring security. By implementing access control systems, businesses can restrict entry to authorized personnel only, preventing unauthorized individuals from entering sensitive areas. Valuable assets are protected, and the system also helps maintain the privacy and confidentiality of sensitive information. Additionally, access control systems can provide a record of who enters and exits the office, allowing for better accountability and investigation in the event of any security incidents.?

Time and attendance machines are another type of technology that businesses can use to track and manage employee attendance. These machines accurately record the time employees arrive and leave the office, eliminating the need for manual timekeeping methods. Human resource professionals see this system as a useful tool that generates detailed reports that help businesses analyze employee productivity and make informed decisions regarding scheduling and resource allocation. This saves time, reduces errors, and also ensures fair and accurate payment for hours worked.?

Living in the post-COVID-19 era, we must learn from our past mistakes and always be cautious when it comes to our health. Heat temperature monitoring is certainly not a thing of the past, but it has become even more critical to maintaining a safe and healthy environment. Implementing temperature monitoring systems can help businesses identify potential health risks and take necessary precautions to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. Additionally, these systems can provide valuable data for contact tracing efforts, allowing for a quick and effective response in case of an outbreak.?

24/7 alarm monitoring is another important feature of security, where when the alarm is triggered, a signal is sent to the receiving station, and armed security is deployed. This is a service Safeway offers to ensure the safety and protection of businesses and their assets. In the event of a break-in or emergency, immediate action can be taken to minimize damage and address the situation promptly. This round-the-clock monitoring provides businesses with peace of mind and a proactive approach to security.?

Saudia notes that, as a result of the recent dormitory fire in Madhia, the company saw an increase in the sale of fire alarms and fire accessories. It highlights the role Safeway plays in meeting the increased demand for reliable and effective fire protection solutions. The Managing Director said, “In Guyana, we don’t think ahead to prevent, we wait for something to happen then we act." This is unfortunate, as being proactive and taking preventive measures can significantly reduce the likelihood of incidents and their impact. By investing in security systems and implementing safety protocols, businesses can ensure the safety of their employees, customers, and assets. It is crucial for individuals and organizations to prioritize prevention rather than waiting for unfortunate events to occur before taking action.?

Nowadays, criminals are not only striking businesses with theft but companies are now tasked with securing their cyberspace. This includes implementing robust cybersecurity measures such as firewalls, encryption, and regular software updates to protect sensitive data from cyberattacks.

“We do everything and what we can’t, we will find a way to get it done”, said Saudia Ceasar. "As the need arises we have to cater to the market and increase client range." By offering secure cloud coverage, companies can ensure that their data is stored safely and accessible from anywhere, providing convenience and peace of mind to their clients. Additionally, regularly conducting security audits and training employees on best practices can help prevent internal vulnerabilities and strengthen the overall cybersecurity posture of the company.?

Caesar notes that demand is not high in this realm of service, but it is getting there. As Guyana develops and is continuously in the spotlight for being the fastest-growing economy in the world, data is a prized possession. As the value of data continues to increase, so does the need for robust cybersecurity measures. Companies in Guyana must recognize the importance of protecting their sensitive information from cyber threats and invest in cutting-edge technologies to stay ahead of potential attacks. With education and awareness about cybersecurity, demand is expected to grow, and Safeway will be ready to meet that demand.

Human Resource Challenge

Safeway has the products, accessibility, and customers that contribute to a successful establishment, but one of the key challenges they face is attracting and retaining top talent in their human resources department. As the company continues to grow, it becomes increasingly important to have skilled and trained technicians who can effectively handle the complex and evolving needs of the organization. This is a common challenge that is found across every industry in Guyana.
